Intellectual Access to Preservation Data Interest Group:
Midwinter 2009
The Intellectual Access Interest group assembled for a presentation and discussions. The Premis data dictionary and section restructuring were the topics. Rebecca Guenther Senior Networking and Standards Specialist, Network Development and MARC Standards Office, Library of Congress presented a one hour program on the Premis Data Dictionary. This was a non-technical presentation discussing preservation metadata and Premis. The session introduced the goals and features of the PREMIS Data Dictionary, as well as the work of the PREMIS Maintenance Activity.
A question and answer period immediately followed the presentation. The last hour of the meeting was used to discuss the group’s future under the sections restructuring plan. Although the group was due to sunset, great interest was expressed in keeping the group moving into the future. This was expressed in words and by a strong attendance.
